| Check out this band at:http://www.theshowdownmetal.com/
This band sounds not so bad.
"Temptation Come My Way" is the title of their latest album. |

| Musically, it is a great album. Lyrically, it doesn't contain a lot of real spirituality. The most inspiring song is probably their remake of "Carry On My Wayward Son". _________________  I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. |

| Ditto what Alldat said (for the most part). The music is great, but the lyrics don't seem to point to their faith much at all.

| It's got 3 or 4 really great songs. Blatant rip-off of Corrosion or Conformity and Metallica (Load-era) but very good nonetheless. I hope their next album will be even better. |

| Their first album is much better. Luckily for me I got to see them live before they changed to this new style. I mean it's not bad at all, but it ain't The Showdown. |

I'm just messin' but... The new Showdown is much more to my liking than that screaming horror show of a debut they released. I admit it was talented and good if you like hardcore/metalcore screamo death stuff but for a melodic rock/metal fan like me I would much rather hear "Temptation Come My Way".
However, I feel they TOTALLY butchered the classic "Carry On My Wayward Son" on the new album. |
I have to completely agree with you there. Being a fan of the more melodic rock stuff I couldn't get into the Showdown's first album.
I also think that if they couldn't get the vocal harmonies correct on "Wayward Son" then they should have just left it alone.

| I've never hid my like for harder music Norm (hardcore, thrash metal etc.). But unlike most people I also enjoy many of the styles that you do (melodic metal, symphonic metal etc.) along with the harder stuff. I know Godswizard's tag line is "daddy likes it all" but I don't think he's even in the same league as me when it comes to liking different styles of music. It's all in what I feel like hearing at the moment. |

I thought they did pretty good with this, myself. Sure, the track is dropped a few keys from the original, but the harmonies are there (just lower pitched!)._________________ I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. |

| I loved TCMY, but I could not stomach the vocals on their first album. |

| WElome back, TT!
I have to agree that the vocals on The Showdown's first CD kept me away from it as well. _________________ I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. |
